Shallow Hal with BJ Colangelo (Chasing Gwyneth Paltrow: Episode 21)

November 11, 2026 · 2 h 7 min

Show notes

In high school, Gwyneth Paltrow said her biggest fear was "obesity," but she bravely donned a fat suit to play Rosemary, the love interest for Jack Black's Hal in the 2001 romantic comedy Shallow Hal. We're joined by This Ends at Prom co-host BJ Colangelo to talk about Gwyneth's tone-deaf press tour, and why this movie's good intentions make it more offensive. Plus: going topless for 9/11, killing George Harrison, and what Sorority Boys gets right.
